...insidious, though, is differentiation not by attitude but by race or sexual orientation. Despite the alleged pro-diversity effects of non ordered choice, a large percentage of Harvard's Black population lives in the Quad, many Asian-Americans live in Quincy and many openly gay, bisexual and lesbian students flock to Adams and Dunster.
